Colistin is the antibiotic of last resort for particularly dangerous types of superbugs, including a family of bacteria known as CRE, which health officials have dubbed "nightmare bacteria." In some instances, these superbugs kill up to 50 percent of patients who become infected. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has called CRE among the country's most urgent public health threats.

Turn back the calendar to a time when America the nation, had common sense and instinct for self preservation, instead of over politicized  recklessness.

Diseases which were once eradicated from our shores, are walking right back in, on the shoulders of dangerous assumptions about the nature of societies.

We may need border barriers MORE now, than ever before due to ease of travel, and the pot of gold if one can reach the US.
